METHOD OF PROVIDING IP MOBILITY USING SCTP SIGNALING IN 3GPP BASED NEXT GENERATION MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

Provided is a method of providing IP mobility using SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) signaling in a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) based next generation mobile communication network. The method of providing IP mobility constructs an IP mobility protocol on an SCTP layer of an interface protocol used between an integrated gateway supporting binding a mobile terminal with a different type network and at least one base station and used between base stations, generates a signaling message for binding the mobile terminal with the network according to the IP mobility protocol, embeds at least a part of the signaling message in the SCTP layer to generate an SCTP packet and transmits the SCTP packet to update binding of the mobile terminal and the network. Accordingly, design and construction of network related equipment and mobile terminal for obtaining IP mobility in the mobile terminal and the network can be efficiently performed and unnecessary overhead can be prevented.
